ObamaCare Drops Full-Time Employment
by Walter Russell Mead. Many businesses anticipate that Obamacare will deal a blow to their
bottom line in the form of fines and penalties. Some are now planning to
evade the law’s fine for uninsured full-time employees by pushing
full-time employees to part-time status. The Wall Street Journal reports: Several restaurants, hotels and retailers ... MOREBrook And Watkins: The Virtue Of Employee Layoffs
Hamstringing the ability to make profits. A CEO stands in front of his crumbling, century-old factory and speaks to his employees. “I promise that no matter what, I will never renovate this place. No matter how many worn-out items break, no matter how much our out-of-date machinery slows us down, no matter how many people tease us for clinging to ... MOREThomas Sowell: Jobs Versus Net Jobs
Sometimes a gain in one means a loss in the other. One of the reasons for the popularity of political rhetoric is that everybody can be right, in terms of their own rhetoric, no matter how much the rhetoric of one side contradicts the rhetoric of the other side. President Obama constantly repeats how many millions of jobs have been created ... MOREStar Parker: Minimum Wage Increase DOES Impact Poverty

A difference in pay does not prove discrimination. As any debater knows, defining the issue is a major part of the battle. On Tuesday, Democrats failed to persuade the Senate to approve the Paycheck Fairness Act. What are we to conclude from that outcome? That paychecks will be unfair, to the detriment of America's working ... MOREThomas Sowell: A Cynical Process
Power brokers with a narrow cause. Labor unions, like the United Nations, are all too often judged by what they are envisioned as being — not by what they actually are or what they actually do. Many people, who do not look beyond the vision or the rhetoric to the reality, still think of labor unions as protectors of working people from their employers. And ... MORENick Schulz: Minimum Wage, Maximum Stupidity
Why Congress should not raise minimum wage. When economic times are tough, it’s tempting to want to push for an increase in the minimum wage. Supporters see it as giving the deserving poor a badly needed raise. If we only mandate that employers raise the pay floor for their employees, those who earn the least will see a nice pay bump. ...
